Beautiful, refreshing, and very real; I knew I would enjoy this series from the description, but to see it play out with its beautifully strange use of photography and live-action blended with charming characters really made me fall in love with this show. It's slow, soft, and nuanced in its approach to subjects of longing and infidelity, and overall I personally felt it handled these topics with a lot of grace and empathy. It really does feel like episode plots were pulled from people's diary entries, and that's always going to be my favourite feeling from a show like this.
I sought the series out because it was recommended for those who loved the work of Natsume Ono, such as Ristorante Paradiso, and it certainly ticked that box for me. From its unique visuals to its lavishly personal st…

The whole series was so unique with different characters from different backgrounds and families, each tells a really good story we must all watch. The stories tells us a lot about our generation and day to day things happening in our life and how people go through life with it. Not all stories are happy just like our our lives, its bitter, sweet and a lot mixed in. The animation itself is beautiful and its totally fits the series. The characters designs were not exaggerated like modern anime's and it fits so well with the story which is more realistic.
It was such an odd experience and i really like it.

This is a very good one, however not an anime I probably would have enjoyed watching in my teens or even my early 20s. There are some obvious low-effort artworks and animations in the episodes. At times the plot does not seem to move along fast enough. Also there are points when the expected plot development fizzles out somewhat. Yet, I loved it. I love to find that there are anime shows like these for someone at my age.
This show consists to 4 episodes, with 4 short-stories as plots for each, with central characters all women.
If you are past the age to watch anime shows targeted towards teenagers or YAs, give this a try.
Yeah, I know... there are not many you get to watch and re-watching old favourites can be tiring at times.

So obviously this anime isn't for everyone, but for me (29 F), it was perfect. Everything from the stories to art style were very enjoyable for someone who has aged out of a lot of anime. I was looking for a short, simple, more mature show I could enjoy with a drink and whew boy I found it.
Each ep revolved around a different matured woman, a POV in anime rarely seen. These women tended to have some degree of a selfish streak, but you know what? Good for them. I found myself rooting for them no mater how flawed their approach to life was. I think many fellow older women will find these 4 stories relatable and enjoyable, especially if you still haven't quite found your way.

So I’m writing this review just to clear up my thoughts on this series. Otona Joshi no Anime Time is a collection of four stories, each bearing a different message and each presenting new characters. The show was mesmerizing for the reason that it was done by studio Bones, a studio you should rely on when it comes to aesthetics. As soon as I saw it, I put it in my plan-to-watch list — it’s been there for quite a while now. So I finally decided to check it out, and here are my thoughts.
I will list all four stories and what I thought about each.
Episode one:
My first impression with this episode was that studio Bones lived up to my expectations and did a pretty job with the visuals.
Now, going into the story, we are greeted by Noriko, the protagonist. She has a child — but that’s not w…

Otona Joshi no Anime Time is a best way to tell story about realistic adult woman.
story 7
at first glace you may think that this is just a pure netorare story, but the hidden values and story is more than that, NOT ONLY ABOUT CHEATING. Especially episode 3 and 4 is show what's the meaning of growing up and be more mature+STRONG woman.
on one side we may think that the moral values of this anime is extremely bad,
character 7
on the other side this is a realistic-modern story about independent woman, a woman who don't care about what people say as long as they can achieve happiness after going through so much pain.
art 10
they combine animation and real setting, which is it is very unique and fresh
the art use good colour too, i can make anology that the art is as same as vintage wallpaper…

Otona Joshi no Anime Time is a series of four episodes. Every episode has a different woman as the main character and we get to see a bit of her daily life as well as get to know her thoughts. I really liked this show because the women depicted are just ordinary people and even though nothing really extraordinary happens to them it is easy to empathize with them. Every episode has a different type of animation and they all look really good.
The first episode has a somberness to it. It kinda of reminded me of a Murakami short-story.
The second one is cute and romantic but hides some serious subjects.
The third episode was the one I enjoyed the most. Probably because it's the funnier and the main character learns to laugh at herself.
The last episode is the one that seemed more common, as…

And the morale of the story is, "Live for yourself and to the fullest because life waits for no one."
After watching all four of the short stories the experience left me feeling nostalgic, and with an overall sense of warm happiness, [b]however[/b] it also left me with a feeling of fear in regards to the future.
The short stories center around the lives of 4 different women between their late 20s to early 40s. The stories primarily focus on the age old theme of love; whether that be love in the form of friendship, motherly love, love of an old lover, or the love within a new romantic relationship. It also delves into matters of life in general through the eyes of these women; life as a mother, wife, girlfriend, and worker. Sometimes things are lighthearted and fun, while at other times…

"With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone." - Oscar Wilde
With the passing of every year one can't help but feel nostalgic at times. As you get older, you might find yourself asking, "Where did all the time go?" or "When did I get so old?" In those moments, we often find ourselves looking back towards the past. There were moments that you felt happy and sad, content and depressed, ecstatic and lazy, full of love and full of regret. There were the soaring highs and there were the abysmal lows. There were moments when you wondered what if. Would things have turned out differently? Did I make the wrong choices? The possibilities are so vast that they can make your mind wander endlessly. However, the past is the past and what's done is done. After all, what good is a life that sta…

Not for kids. You guys have read the Synopsis. All the 4 stories comes down to choices that women make. They are really powerful stories. Each story presents a different perspective. This is a definite watch for adults with open mind.
Episode 1 fells like the woman made the wrong choice, but who was to say how the world would have been like of she made the other choice. We just make a choice and hope for the best, but those choices are bound by our desires, like money, status, respect among everybody or a nice man with whom one might not have a rich life as per society's standards but definitely a rich life as a small good happy family. She couldn't decide, went for a social richness and somehow everything just falls apart. She tries to come back, but sees the other road is no longer open…
